DESCRIPTION

This package provides commands to work with the serializations of keyword indices as managed by the doctools system v2, and specified in section Keyword index serialization format.

This is an internal package of doctools, for use by the higher level packages handling keyword indices and their conversion into and out of various other formats, like documents written using docidx markup.

API

Keyword index serialization format

Here we specify the format used by the doctools v2 packages to serialize keyword indices as immutable values for transport, comparison, etc.

We distinguish between regular and canonical serializations. While a keyword index may have more than one regular serialization only exactly one of them will be canonical.
